fleaMy MIL and SIL both got clothes for Dillo for his birthday - 4/4T, and a pair of size 12 flip-flops. They're HUGE on him - he wears a 2T okay still, though 3T is fine too, and his shoes are a size 8.
It's not a problem - he'll wear this stuff next summer - but I'm amused that since mr. flea was huge as a child (97%ile all the way) and Casper was tall (she *was* wearing size 4 on her 3rd birthday) they have it in their heads that Dillo is huge, too. Whereas he's average-sized and always has been - 50-60%ile.
Still, better too big than too small.
